Heading out

Hello all! I thought I would take a break from packing up my entire house and blog. Literally, I feel like I am packing up the entire house for our trip to CA. I admit I am pretty anxious about flying with two kiddos. Nick will feel like he has three kids because I get sick every time I fly. Please pray for safe travel and no getting sick (on and off the plane).

I hope this kids look this happy on vacation.....

Human Trafficking

We attended the church in OKC today where we grew up. During worship they shared with us about a couple who plans on moving to Africa to be missionaries to stop human trafficking. The man, Ken, actually decided to walk all the way from OKC to Houston to help the awareness of human trafficking. I thought what this couple has committed to is amazing. Not only giving up their luxury life here in Oklahoma to move to Africa but to put all their trust in God to get him to Houston safe and sound. This must be physically draining and I can't imagine being the wife at home waiting to hear from her husband to see how is he holding up. I was dying to check out their blog when we got home today. It looks like there are plenty of angels watching over Ken. If you want to read about this journey you can check out Ken and Kathy's story here. Please keep this couple in your prayers.

First day of Pre-K and Mother's Day Out :)

The kids started pre-school this week! Austin is attending Pre-K at the pre-school he attended last year 3 days a week. We enrolled Vivian in Mother's Day out one day a week at the same school. Monday was bitter sweet because I was pretty nervous about sending Vivian but excited about getting 4 1/2 hours to myself. Its amazing how much you can get done in a short amount of time without the kiddos. I ran all kinds of errands, got a pedicure and even had time to be at the house alone for about 1 hour. Vivian cried for all about 2 seconds! All in all the first week of school went pretty good. Austin got to be the flag holder and came home every day and said he learned nothing. lol We are working on learning his phone number...it continues to be a work in progress, he will usually say 911!!!




Of course she was stylin with her Thirty-One fashionable and functional bags.

Children's Museum

I am back! Our computer crashed and put everything in the Price Household into chaos. I was lost for awhile! We were able to restore all of our files but I lost my e-mail contacts. So all in all things are back to normal. Now I have to play catch up!

We had our last play date of the summer a few weeks ago. We went to Kalidescope, a local children's museum here. The kids seemed to have such a good time. Normally when we go for play dates Austin just comes home and doesn't talk about it. He was telling Nick about it at dinner and kept saying he wanted to go back with Gabe and Gavin. He could have played there all day if I let him. They had a pretend grocery store, post office, hair salon, CSI lab, jail, dress up area, play house, black light room, and a big play area for them to play in. For $6 it was definitely worth it and that included lunch! We will be going back. My only reservation is I always wonder how well they clean the toys at the end of the day!!!

$4.00 well spent

I went to An Affair of the Heart (craft show) and I always feel like I need to come back with something for both Vivian and Austin. If you have ever been to An Affair of the Heart, they have nothing for little boys. I found this Grow Your Own Lizard for 4 bucks!! They also had snakes, frogs, etc. It was quite the entertainment for 10days. You put the lizard in your bath tub and it grows and grows. The kids went in every night to pet him. He was pretty slimy and felt real. Anyways, if you ever see one of these they are definitely worth the $4!


Taken the first day in the tub and then taken on the last day.

Play dates

We have play date every Thursday. Today was a visit to the farm to ride horses. We have attempted numerous times for Austin to ride ponies and horses but he always gets spooked at the last minute. He finally rode today! It took a second time and seeing other friends do it who were brave, but he did it! Vivian was happier as ever in her stroller having a snack. Maybe the next play date will be more for her age?




I watched our neighbor Gabe a few days ago and the boys played Twister. Definitely a good stretching exercise and teaches left from right. :) As you can see, Vivian has a new move she does all day long and Austin is now doing it too!!!

Independence Day

So, I'm a little behind on blogging. I am now a part-time working mommy so I don't have near the time I did before. We spend July 4th weekend in OKC with family. We missed Rockets over Rhema this year. Rockets is a community Christian concert in Broken Arrow that has an awesome fireworks display. Austin and I did however watch the fireworks from afar. We had a date just the two of us. Vivian is in bed every night by at least 7:30 but I'm hoping that next year she can join in on the fun!


The works...we bought these last year and they were still good!


Before dark
